Palaces and temples are places where Taoist gods in the spiritual world communicate with people in the material world. The Gods of Taoism guide those who are destined to choose an appropriate place, and then gather all the people to build temple palaces to perform the tasks of the Gods.

神靈的世界

超過兩千年的論證及近年來的物理科學實證已可確定天地之間，存在有非物質的高智慧意識強的神靈世界。宮廟是靈界道教神靈與物質世界的人溝通的地方，道教的領旨神靈會指示有緣的人選擇適當的地點，再集結眾人力共建宮廟來執行神靈的任務。
